Prerequisite: You must be 21 years or older to become an NRA RSO.

The NRA Range Safety Officer (RSO) program was developed in response to the demand for a nationally recognized range safety officer certification. To become a NRA Range Safety Officer, you must pass the RSO course and demonstrate that you possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, conducting, and supervising safe shooting activities and range operations.

This course is conducted in a classroom (there is no live fire during this course). RSO Candidates will learn roles and responsibilities of an RSO; Range Standard Procedures (SOPs); range inspections/ range rules/ range briefings/ emergency procedures/ and firearm stoppages and malfunctions.

Note: This certification is required for registered Boy Scout Leaders to serve as a Range Safety Officer at a Boy Scout (Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun) Range
